Sunday 5th June – Breakfast of leftover salami, cheese & bread in our apartment in Bled before setting off on motorway towards Austria. Near Slovenian/Austrian border ride through tunnel that is 9km long. Continue motorway riding past Salzburg and 100km toward Vienna past some of the beautiful Austrian lakes including Mondsee. We cut north on B roads that wind through lush farm country for 30km to join the motorway & across the German border toward Passau. Turn off motorway as we approach the Bavarian Forest and wind our way back to Barnzell. It's been a long tiring day with close to 550 km travelled. We ride to the local hotel and organise rooms with Josep Schredder the village publican – the pub has always struck us as basic but the rooms are superb and only 29 euro a night. We chat with Josep in our basic German over a dinner of Jaegerschnitzel & beer.

Monday 6th June – Move our gear down the road to Lindenhaus in the morning.Organise our gear and then ride push bikes to the local swimming complex at Zweizel for a swim, sauna & lie in the sun. Struggle to organise hotel room in Munich for the next 3 days on internet.
Tuesday 7th June – Pack up and catch train from Zweizel to Munich. Lug our heavy packs to hotel and then spend the afternoon exploring the highlights of inner city Munich on foot. Meet each other back at hotel feeling pretty foot sore around 8.00pm for beer & pizza.
